We're told police found 10 glassine envelopes -- 2 of the envelopes had heroin ... the others presumably were empty. One of the envelopes had "Ace of Spades" written on it, and another had an ace of hearts symbol -- such symbols and words are often markers from people who make heroin -- to brand it.Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Hoffman was supposed to pick up his kids at 9 AM Sunday but didn't show -- which was unusual for him. A playwright and a friend became concerned, came over and found the actor alone in the apartment.Details surrounding his death are unclear ... but the actor had struggled with drug problems ... most recently checking himself into a rehab facility for heroin back in May. TMZ broke the story of Hoffman going to rehab. We were told he did it as a preventative measure because he was getting close to a major relapse. A source involved in Hoffman's treatment now tells TMZ ... the actor said at the time he was on the brink of becoming a heroin IV user and wanted to nip it in the bud before that happened.As we previously reported ... Hoffman had been clean for 23 years but fell off the wagon in 2012.It appears Hoffman's last interview was at the Sundance Film Festival with XiXi Yang from PopStopTV for his movie "A Wanted Man."Hoffman's family released a statement saying, "We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Phil and appreciate the outpouring of love and support."Law enforcement sources tell us his autopsy will take place Monday.

Say this for Justin Bieber ... at least he shares ... even when it comes to strippers' boobs -- as seen in this photo of Justin and his pal Khalil Sharieff sucking on one breast each during a recent party.According to sources with direct knowledge ... the stripper, who came fully-loaded with giant fake breasts and a classy rainbow-colored Playboy tattoo, was hired to "perform" for Justin and his pals during a party at an L.A. recording studio. During the festivities, Justin and Khalil decided to get a taste of the action ... at the same time ... with Justin taking a love-bite out of the left mammary for good measure.

He will be responding very soon."Stay tuned.
Woody Allen fumbled with his phone on his way out of a Knicks game Saturday night ... pretending a photog was not asking him about his adopted daughter's claims he molested her when she was a little girl.Woody was leaving Madison Square Garden with his wife Soon Yi and daughter Manzie Tio ... just hours after Dylan Farrow unloaded on him ... claiming when she was just 7 he took her to their attic and violated her by -- among other things -- burying his head in her crotch.Woody mutters something to his family as the photog persists, but never acknowledges him. So far, none of Woody's co-stars have reacted to Dylan's latest, detailed accusations.
Woody Allen's daughter claims the director sexually assaulted her as a child ... on multiple occasions ... and says Hollywood should be ASHAMED of itself for praising him at the Academy Awards. In an open letter published in the New York Times, Dylan Farrow goes into horrific detail about the alleged abuse suffered at the hands of the man who adopted her. "When I was seven years old, Woody Allen took me by the hand and led me into a dim, closet-like attic on the second floor of our house. He told me to lay on my stomach and play with my brother’s electric train set. Then he sexually assaulted me."In the letter, Farrow says Allen's abuse didn't end there:"I didn’t like it when he would stick his thumb in my mouth. I didn’t like it when I had to get in bed with him under the sheets when he was in his underwear. I didn’t like it when he would place his head in my naked lap and breathe in and breathe out."Farrow claims she would try to hide from Allen, but he would always find her. As she got older, Farrow claims the abuse took a huge toll on her mental health -- and she was so messed up, she developed an eating disorder and even cut herself. FYI -- back in 1992, Dylan's mother, Mia Farrow, reportedly accused Allen of sexually assaulting Dylan ... and he was investigated ... but prosecutors decided not to pursue charges because Dylan was too "fragile" to endure a trial. At the time, Allen denied the allegations ... saying Mia was simply bitter about his affair with Soon-Yi Farrow Previn (another adopted daughter ... who he later married.)In her letter, Dylan then goes after several Hollywood stars who have praised Allen throughout the years:"What if it had been your child, Cate Blanchett? Louis CK? Alec Baldwin? What if it had been you, Emma Stone? Or you, Scarlett Johansson? You knew me when I was a little girl, Diane Keaton. Have you forgotten me?""Woody Allen is a living testament to the way our society fails the survivors of sexual assault and abuse."As for Woody ... he refused to comment on the New York Times story -- but has always maintained his innocence.
